A girl who is not able to fit into any relationship since school days . She was very cautious because she wanted to take that relationship for a lifetime by getting married. 

This is the reason she wasn't committed in school days as she didn't see anyone like that . At one point of time , She became bread winner for her family as she has huge responsibilities. 

She used to catch the MTC bus by 1030 am daily to reach the office. One Monday morning , she got the MTC bus as usual and she sits on the same window seat everyday. After a few stops two boys get into the bus. Out of them, one boy catches her eyes attention immediately — she likes him at first sight.

Actually, it’s not just about unlucky love… she is also a bit unlucky in general as she tried few but all failed. From this point, the girl keeps noticing the boy, but the boy doesn’t notice her.

Through window, She used to saw a man who tries to grow a plant but it's flower doesn't bloom at all , everyday she saw this and gets disappointed.

At one point, the bus is very crowded and the conductor asks everyone to take tickets. These two boys are unable to go to the conductor, so they decide to use the Chennai bus app to book tickets. But due to network issues, they ask this girl for help.

She helps them and shares the ticket. While sharing, her number gets shared as well. They take the ticket and pay for it, and she sends the ticket image to them on WhatsApp.

After that, for many days, those boys don’t show up. She keeps checking daily, but they don’t come.she felt unlucky and she was dejected to call her love life as graveyard at her 30 now.

After around three months, both of them appear again. She sees them. But now she is confused — she has a phone number, but she doesn’t know whether it belongs to the boy she likes or the other boy.

Suddenly she got a message from that number to get tickets as she did earlier. Slowly, they start talking and get introduced to each other. They begin sharing things about their lives.

From the boy’s side, there isn’t much interest — he just got help and replies out of curiosity since she is messaging. But from her side, she develops interest in him.

However, she still has a big doubt — is she talking to the same boy she liked in the bus, or the other one?

To confirm this, she tries to gather clues through chat. The boy mentions that he is a Christian. He also says and he is a twin. He tells her that he goes to church on Sundays at a particular time.
So, she goes to that church to confirm. Her idea is:

If the boy she likes is there, then she is talking to the right person
If not, then she is talking to the other person.

But when she goes there, neither of the two boys show up.

However, from their chats, she knows that:

He is from Pondicherry
He is staying with his aunt and uncle in Chennai
The three of them usually go to church together

So, she observes people in the church and tries to identify them based on this. She finds a group that matches the description, but that boy is not someone she has seen in the bus.

This increases her confusion.

At the same time, when she messages him, he says,
“I just came from church.”

Now her confusion becomes even worse — reality and what he says don’t match.

Still, she keeps talking to him. She is very curious. He keeps responding, and they start sharing personal things.

She also shares her past — she had a sincere relationship earlier which lasted for three years, but due to some problems, they broke up.

One day, at around 1:30 AM, someone in her family passed away. She feels very low and messages him. He responds immediately and consoles her very well.

From that moment, she started liking him deeply on a personal level. He becomes an emotional support for her. Since he was very quiet boy , he lives very simple life and he likes embroidery hooping and feel happier at those moments .

Both becake little closer and After some time, they decide to meet.

On that day, she boards the bus as usual. But something is different:

The boy she expects usually boards at a particular stop, but that day he doesn’t
Instead, only one boy comes, and he boards from an earlier stop
The other boy doesn’t come at all

She gets shocked and feels very awkward.

In her mind, she has been thinking about one person, but in reality, she might be talking to someone else.

She feels very low and confused.

Then she messages him:
“Didn’t you come to the bus today?”

He replies:
“No, I came… I just boarded one stop earlier today.”

At that moment, she felt extremely happy.

After so many years and after everything she has gone through, she finally feels like she has found someone she truly likes.

Then in the bus, they both see each other, smile, say “hello ” and properly introduce themselves.

Finally, she saw a floor bloomed in the graveyard through window and heartfelt .
